Forecasts

Road Warrior (10/3), Don't Need To Know (4/1), Blakerigg (11/2), Thelongwayaround (13/2), Ard Chros (9/1), Too Wise Man (9/1), Cave Top (10/1), Mah Mate Bob (10/1), Lastin' Memories (12/1), Knocknamona (18/1)

Verdict

There are reasons to be optimistic where BLAKERIGG is concerned, despite the fact that he has a 16-month absence to overcome, and Nicky Richards' charge earns the vote in an open-looking contest. Road Warrior won by a street at Sedgefield last time and he is a much-respected main danger. Don't Need To Know and Lastin' Memories can do battle for minor honours.

  1. BLAKERIGG (IRE)
  2. ROAD WARRIOR
